1-This system may be kept idling for 8H/Day and on load for 8H/Day.

Do you have any comments on this rig ?
Should i change my PC now or wait till the next year ?
Core2Duo E7500 @ 3.66GHz
4GB 1333MHz DDR3 Ram
GT 640 Core@1100MHz and Memory@940MHz
But i game on 1280X720
Do you think an intel/Nvidia rig will be better ?

What is your budget?

about 10 000 EGP but as i wrote the prices on egypt are much different and not all the hardware is available and i can build my rig myself

Alright, so for the uses you have listed, the most important component to make usage best for you would be a quality GPU. And that is where I would make sure to designate a good portion of my budget to.

I'm thinking for that price, you should be able to get a nice intel i7, but I'm not sure what prices are in Egypt. Here is a good link to look and compare CPU benchmarks, from 3D rendering to single threaded benchmarks. It's getting a little outdated, but it will give you a decent start.

well then this rig will be the best choice since getting an i7 here in egypt would force me to get a GTX780 and the CPU won't be an unlocked one since i plan to overclock that FX-8320
